HEATING STOVE.

Application filed Jul so, 1921, Serial No. 438,845. Renewed. ri1 4 ,;1923.

Be it known that I, CORNELIUS L. TAYLOR;

a citizen of the Unitedbtates residing at Huntington, in the county, of Cabe ll. and.

State of W est Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Stoves, of which the following is a speci fication.

This invention relates to improvements in heating stoves and more particularly that type designed for the consumption of gaseous or liquid fuel, the primary object of the present invention being to. provide astove which will be economical in its consumption of fuel and will possess maximum efliciency as a heat radiating medium.

Another object of the invention is to so construct a stove of the type above men} tioned as to insure of perfect combustion of all of the fuel delivered from the burners, thereby obviating theannoyance of incompletely consumed products of combustion escaping from the stove.

Another object of the invention is to so construct the stove that while it will possess maximum eiiiciency as a heating medium, it may be of compact form and will therefore occupy but little space.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the heatin stove embodying the invention;

*igure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sec tional view through the stove;

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken substantially on theline 3-3 of Figure 2 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; y i

Figure 4 is a perspective view of oneof the baflies of thestove removed. i

The body of the stove may be constructed in various ways and the component parts thereof may be cast or may be formed from sheet metal as found desirable. Thesaid body comprises side Walls 1, end walls 2, a

bottom 3, and a top 4t. Preferably the walls .1. and 2 and the bottom 3 and the top 4 are lined with sheet asbestos as indicated by the numeral 5, and the top 4 is provided with a dome 6 upstanding from its central portion and having its walls formed with openings 7 for the escape of heated air currents and consumed products of combustion.

The body of the stove may be supported in any suitable manner as for example upon corner legs 8 and in order that air may be admitted to the interior of the stove to sup' 'fport combustion at the burners, the side walls lot the body are formed, immediately above the bottom 3, with openings 9.

The burner of the stove is indicated in, general by thenumeral 10 and may be constructed for the consumption of either gaseousor liquid fuel, the burner in the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, comprising a burnertube 11 provided with a longitudinal series of upwardly presented tips 12,.the whole being surmounted by a flame spreader indicated by the nu meral 13. The burner tube 11 in the illustrated embodiment extends longitudinally medially of the bottom?) as best shown in In order that the passage of the heated air currents and products of combustion through the stove may be'retarded so as to increase the eiiiciency of the stove as a heating medium, there is provided within the stove body an arrangement of battles which .will now be described. Oneof the bafilesis clearly shown in Figure 4 of the drawings and indicated by the numeral 14: and the same comprises an oblong rectangular slab -15 of fire clay or other refractory material,

the slab being of dimensions to fit more or less exactly within the body of the stove in ahorizontal position as shown in Figures witha recess 16, and the slabs are arranged and'supported within the stove body by" bein disposedat their ends upon supporting ledges 17 preferably in the nature of angle bars secured uponthe inner sides of Figures 2 and3 ofthe drawings. 1

'2 and 3. The slab 15 is p'rovided at one end the end walls 2 of thestove body. The

slabs are supported by the ledge-s 17 in A and products of combustion. By reference to Figure 2it will be understood that the heated air currents andproducts of combustion and also the flames from .the burner will impinge against the under side of the lowermost slab 15, passing up through the passage way at the end of this slab and l thence longitudinally, within the stove body seine.

the last mentioned slab, and so onthroughout the entire series of slabs, being finally passage upwardly through the interior of:

the body of the stove and perfect con1bus- I tion of the fuel is insured.

Having thus described the invention What is claimed as new is:

In a heating stove of the class described, a body having side Walls. end walls, and a bottonn'a burner arranged longitudinally on the bottoin, a narrow apertured flame spreader secured to the burner and extending' longitudinally thereot, said body being provided with air intake openings located adjacent the bottom, a dome on the top of the body having openings through its sides,

supporting ledges upon the end Walls of the body, and flat baffle slabs resting horizontally upon said ledges and having their edges abutting therespective Walls of the body, said slabs being each provided With a recess in one end and the slabs being ar ranged in spaced relation one above the other with said recesses alternately at 0p posite ends of the body, said flame spreader being situated between said burner and the lowermost one of said slabs.
